tests: Add build subsystem for unit testing coreboot Add a subsystem which will be used for writing, building and running unit tests for different coreboot's modules. This work is built using Cmocka unit testing framework. Description of what unit testing means (for the author) and how unit testing framework evaluation was performed may be found in Documentation/technotes/2020-03-unit-testing-coreboot.md Makefiles structure is very similar to this used for building coreboot images. Every directory has its own Makefile.inc were tests' names, sources, subdirs and multiple other test-related attributes are defined in form of variables.

coreboot is a Free Software project aimed at replacing the proprietary BIOS (firmware) found in most computers. coreboot performs a little bit of hardware initialization and then executes additional boot logic, called a payload.
With the separation of hardware initialization and later boot logic, coreboot can scale from specialized applications that run directly firmware, run operating systems in flash, load custom bootloaders, or implement firmware standards, like PC BIOS services or UEFI. This allows for systems to only include the features necessary in the target application, reducing the amount of code and flash space required.
coreboot was formerly known as LinuxBIOS.
After the basic initialization of the hardware has been performed, any desired "payload" can be started by coreboot.
See https://www.coreboot.org/Payloads for a list of supported payloads.
coreboot supports a wide range of chipsets, devices, and mainboards.

ANY_TOOLCHAIN Kconfig option if you're feeling lucky (no support in this case).Optional:
make menuconfig and make nconfig)Please consult https://www.coreboot.org/Build_HOWTO for details.
If you want to test coreboot without any risks before you really decide to use it on your hardware, you can use the QEMU system emulator to run coreboot virtually in QEMU.
Please see https://www.coreboot.org/QEMU for details.
Further details on the project, a FAQ, many HOWTOs, news, development guidelines and more can be found on the coreboot website:
